The secrecy of the TPP in it's initial stages and it's fast-tracking in Congress is most definitely suspicious, but I fail to see anything that looks harmful to the American people. If anything, it at least seems to be addressing abusive labor practices abroad, which in turn could make the U.S. more competitive in the production of goods. Am I missing something?
It would be nice to see this discussed more openly in Congress, but I'm curious if this is due to the pressure of China's rival regional agreement, FTAAP.

I think the majority of the goods in this context will be digital goods. The tribunal system is a sure way for a multinational company to bend a country over for a good spanking over not enforcing draconian DRM laws.
It would be responsible of them to alert their current students and alumni of the breach, because as of now, I don't think they have. At UCB, there is a medical facility on campus and when you have ship insurance it almost feels as if your provider is the school itself. Dues are paid as part of tuition and most services can be rendered on campus, as well as, most questions about your insurance answered at their front desk. Easy to forget that you're actually a client of Anthem.
I'll add another vote for prawn. It's a great library that has allowed us a lot of flexibility with our generation of pdfs. The author Gregory Brown, as well as the current maintainers, are very active and have done an amazing job at getting it to 1.0. I highly recommend it!
